Annotation: The article considers political and economic processes in Indonesia in 2008 and in the beginning of 2009. There are certain signs of disappointment of the population with the results of democratic reforms after 1998. This disappointment led to the relatively low level of electoral participation. At the same time President Yudhoyono's government may boast political stabilization in the regions and the fact that Indonesia suffered relatively limited damage from the world crisis. Certain changes in the USA new administration policy towards Indonesia are noted.
